With a heavy travel schedule
through three states, the Bethel
Royal Players take off Friday noon
on the first major jaunt of their
young touring season. Six actors
and director Dale Rott will span
1200 miles before Sunday evening
as they appear on two special
church programs and assist in
three Sunday worship services.
The drama personnel will pre-sent
the familiar "Conquest in Bur-ma"
four times over the weekend
to churches who have requested
that it be presented in their lo-calities.
In addition, they will give
the dialogue sermon "Sacrifice—
No!" at one point on the trip.
First stop is Waverly, Iowa,
where "Conquest in Burma" will
highlight a special missionary
rally sponsored Friday evening
by several churches. The next
evening brings the troupe to Ev-anston,
Illinois, where they will
feature the same play at a spe-cial
fall rally in the Calvary
Baptist Church.
Sunday they move north to West
Allis, Wisconsin, and the Beloit
Road Baptist Church there. During
the Sunday School hour they will
again perform "Conquest in Bur-ma."
following with the Dialogue
Sermon as the main portion of the
morning worship hour. Another
long stretch of travel will carry
the group to central Wisconsin
where they have scheduled an ev-ening
performance of "Conquest in
Burma" Sunday.
"Conquest in Burma" details the
major events in the life of Adoni-ram
and Ann Judson, first mission-aries
to Burma. Dale Cope and
Mary Ruetten play these leads,
with Jill Graham as Narrator;
Character and supporting roles are
handled by Dave Stagg (playing
three parts), Darryl Berg (with two
roles), Bob Bryant, Jeff Loomis,
and Director Rott. The play is by
Albert Johnson of the University
of Redlands in California.
Dale Cope also plays the cen-tral
figure, Man, in the dialogue
sermon, as he is beset by contra.
dictory viewpoints offered from
the Tempter, played by Dave
Stagg, and Conscience, enacted
by Darryl Berg. Also as part of
the hour in which the sermon
is presented, Mr. Rott will nar-rate
"Nails" and Jill Graham will
sing two solos.
The weekend tour is among an
ever-growing list of in-church pre-sentations
undertaken by the Roy-al
Players. Sunday evening, Octo-,

the Bethel Bookstore. It has been
the "Campus-Pac"—a $2.50 value
of varied toiletries for 25 cents.
From the small fee charged, the
Bethel Bookstore in conjunction
with the Student Personnel Com-mittee
is giving a $50 grant-in-aid
applicable to second semester to
some worthy freshman.
Mr. Bob Bergerud announced to-day
that Bethel Bookstore recently
made arrangements for another re-markable
opportunity. All campus
coeds will receive free a "Student
Gift-Pac." It contains about $1.00
worth of Prell, Hidden Magic, Tam-pax
and Safeguard soap.
The "Gift-Pats" are available at
the cash register of the Bethel
Bookstore. A receipt card must be
filled in at the time of receiving
the "Gift-Pac." It asks for name,
class, address of school, and home
address. The manufacturers pro-mise
that these cards will not be
used for further advertising.
The "Gift-Pats" are available at

Olivet Nazarene College of Kan-kakee,
Illinois was host last week
to the American Association of
Evangelical Students. The confer-ence
held on Thursday and Fri-day,
October 27 and 28, was at-tended
by three delegates from
Bethel College.
Chief consideration for the con-ference
was the theme "Our Chris-tian
Heritage." Dr. Gordon Clark,
and Dr. Martin Marty were two
prominent guests at the regional
conference who addressed them-selves
to the relationship of his-tory
and the Christian.
Dr. Clark in a one hour ad-dress
spoke to the delegates on
"The Marxist Theory of History,"
of the delegates represented Bible
colleges, with a sizable represen-tation
from Christian liberal arts
schools.
Representatives from Bethel
were Jim Keim, Linda C. Olson,
and Jonathan P. Larson. The
delegation left the campus Wed-nesday
and returned Saturday.
Sidelights to the conference
were the performance of Frostiana
by the Olivet Orpheus, Viking, and
Trebel choirs, and an evening din-ner
concluding the meetings.
Business confronting the con-ference
included a discussion of
the purposes of the organization,
the ideological stance of the or-ganization,
and the increased de-sire
for exchange of ideas between
representative schools.
The Conference Board of Publi-cations
voted this summer to offer
a fifty dollar award to that stu-dent
of Bethel College or Seminary
preparing the outstanding piece of
creative writing during the year.
The entries must be submitted
to the English department of the
College by March 1, 1967. They
will be judged by the editorial staff
of Harvest Publications and the
winning entry will be published in
the appropriate Harvest Publica-tions
periodical. The award will
be made at the Bethel Honors
Convocation May 23, 1967.
This Martin Erikson Journalism
Award was made possible by a
perpetual fund established by his
widow and the Board of Publica-tions
in memory of Martin Erikson,
editor of the STANDARD from
1945 to 1962.

and Dr. Marty spoke on Friday
on two occasions, "Carrying the
Burden of Our History," and
later "Travelling Light: The
Christian Use of History."
The conference was punctuated
by numerous discussion sessions
designed to analyze current cam-pus
problems and provide a forum
for the free flow of student ideas
and reactions. Topics of discussion
included, "The Place of Student
Opposition on Christian Campuses,"
"The Effect of Campus Publication

Swelling Gulf of Purpose Letters View Articles, Gifts, Prayer
Presently Faces AAES
by Jonathan P. Larson
The AAES, American Association of Evangelical Students
is an organization trapped in a limbo of purposes and goals.
Though it has existed for ten years, it is evident that the or-ganization
lacks a feeling of direction.
The Preamble of the AAES constitution declares that it
is dedicated first to foster a bond of Christian fellowship be-tween
member student bodies. This is indeed a worthy intent.
Yet the association has failed to realize this for one reason.
The AAES is not influential enough to hold a strong place in
the college publications, and as a result in the minds of the
individual student body members. If an organization is to be
strong, the basis from which it draws its support must be in-formed
and concerned about its existence. To build and organi-zation
apart from the personal lives of its members is to build
upon a weak foundation.
2) AAES exists to propose study of and suggest solutions
to mutual problems. The Association has partly fulfilled this
declared intent through the various discussion sessions. In-creased
effectiveness of the discussion sessions could be
effected through a more intense focus by the guest speakers
on current problems which nag and in some instances have
riddled our Christian campuses. •
3) AAES is dedicated to promoting the highest standard of
scholarship among member schools. This will be a very diffi-cult
purpose to pursue. Judging from the present strength of
the organization it would be inconceivable that the AAES could
make any progress in this direction within the next five years.
Concrete plans to boost academic standards have not been
laid. In fact, this seemed to be a neglected plank in the inter-action
of the delegates.
4) AAES is to aid member schools in fulfilling the goals
and purposes of the individual institutions. Here again the
AAES addresses itself to the individual constituent schools.
Yet to date the AAES has failed to penetrate the floating
nebulous organization held together by erratic newsletters
which find their way into student council files.
5) AAES exists to promote and exercise an active in-terest
in the affairs of national, state, and local govern-ments
and social institutions. The AAES sees itself as an
organization that will confront students on evangelical cam-puses
with the importance of politics and society as it bears
on the existence of the church. This will require a large or-ganized
staff to prepare material on a relevant way, and dis-seminate
this material throughout the schools. Campus co-ordinators
from the AAES will have to be insightful people
capable of discerning local political problems and publi-cizing
them in an intelligent, objective manner. This is a
big order, far beyond the present capacity of the AAES to
fulfill.
6) AAES proports to promote creative student leadership
as an integral part of the educational .'process for the
purpose of effective student government. Because AAES con-ferences
are attended by student leaders, the dialog which
occurs in such a situation is probably the sanest purpose
the AAES has set forth. For the delegate, a broader under-standing
of campus problems is inevitable, and a coordinated
search for an answer to these problems will indeed be a creative
effort resulting in more competent and mature leaders.
AAES is straddling a widening gulf. The organization must
either enisage a broader staff, with an increased budget, and
more intimate contact with its constituents, or else redefine
itself in terms of the material it has at hand. A failure to do
so will result in the eventual collapse of the association. If the
AAES chooses to do the former, programs for progress will be
necessary. Strong leaders that can consolidate and expand will
be at the top of a need list. The life of this organization will be
determined by its ability and decision to choose, and then to
act.
Twin City Colleges Open
For Interlibrary Exchange
by Leonard Sammons
On Tuesday night, November 1,
the Bethel Student Senate layed
aside any claim it had of being an,
effective representative body.
The meeting had an encouraging
start as Mr. Keim reminded
visitors of their right to address
the Senate when the large band
of visitors began to ask questions
regarding last week's renewal of
NSA membership.
After only token response from
Senators, the Senate led by Bob
Olson and Ron Stone limited in-struction
to two more minutes.
This Miss Kathy Harvie prompt-ly
filled by reading from the
NSA manual.
The action to limit discussion
was opposed by Ken Lewis, John
Sailhamer and three other sen-ators.
Three weeks ago this observer
noted that lack of communication
between students and Senators was
the fault of both. However, it is
now necessary for me to recant
that opinion. The students do not
deserve any blame; it must go to
the Senators.
When the Senate turns down
the queries of a dozen students
with no more than pat answers,
they take upon themselves the
complete blame.
The Senate spent much of the
remainder of the evening discus-sing
how they could explain the
NSA issue to the senate body.
Led by Miss Harvie, they called
for an "objective" article to be
put in the CLARION next week.
This observer thinks this idea
poor for two reasons: 1) Mr. Keim
Bethel College students may use
other Twin Cities libraries subject
to certain regulations. Bethel par-ticipates
in an interlibrary loan
agreement with Augsburg, Ham-line,
Macalester, St. Catherine, and
St. Thomas colleges that permits
borrowing books when requested
by a librarian from the student's
home institution.
Bethel students wishing to use
a book that is not in Bethel's col-lection
should ask a librarian if
the book may be borrowed from
one of the other libraries. The
librarian will call these libraries
and arrange for the loan. The stu-.
dent can then pick up the book
at the other library by presenting
The fourth annual Kansas City
Poetry Contests offering $1,600 in
prizes and the publication of a
book-length manuscript have been
announced by Thorpe Menn, liter-ary
editor of the Kansas City Star,
who is to write the article, is ob
viously committed to one side of
the issue. Therefore, any attempt
to call the article "objective"
would be erroneous.
2) The Senate refused to explain
its views in the meeting to those
who obviously were interested.
It would be the height of hypoc-risy
to put it in the CLARION
for the benefit of those who are
probably not as interested.
The attempt of Bill Ledkins to
establish a forum or debate to
inform students on what NSA is,
what it does, and why we joined
was defeated, 10-6. One cannot
help but wonder if this was not
from fear on the part of Senators
that the students would reveal
themselves as opposed to t h e
deeds of the Senate.
the yellow slip he receives from
the librarian.
Policies vary at other libraries.
The Bethel Seminary library will
loan -up to five books on the col-lege
student's identification card.
St. Paul Bible College and Bethel
College and Seminary libraries
have an informal arrangement
which allows students to borrow
books freely from each others' lib-raries.
The St. Paul Public Library
issues student cards to students
from St. Paul colleges.
Most other libraries require a
deposit or charge a fee to bor-rowers
who are not a part of the
community they serve. However,
most libraries permit use of their
materials on the library premises.
one of four sponsors of the con-tests.
Six $100 awards will be offered
to college students for single
poems in the Hallmark Honor
Prize competition, sponsored by
Hallmark Cards, Inc., the Kansas
City greeting card publisher.
The Dr. Edward A. Devins
Award will offer a $500 advance
on royalties for a book-length
manuscript to be published and
distributed by the University of
Missouri Press. Both the Hall-mark
and the Devins awards are
offered on a national basis.
Two additional competitions are
open to residents of the Mid-Am-erica
region. Four $100 prizes are
offered for single poems by the
Kansas City Star, and high school
students in the area may compete
for four $25 prizes awarded by H.
Jay Sharp, a Kansas City business-man.
Closing date for submission of
entries is February 1, 1967. The
winners will be announced on Ap-ril
27, 1967, at the last event of
the 1966-67 American Poets' Ser-ies
at the Jewish Community Cen-ter
in Kansas City. Complete rules
may be obtained by sending a self-addressed
stamped envelope to:
the cross said, "Father, forgive
them; for they know not what they
do." For additional background to
this read I Peter 2:13-21.
It is fine for the Clarion to have
controversial articles in it, but
being we are a Christ centered
school, let's have the Christian
view point, too. Some secular
papers have more scripture than I
have seen so far in the Clarion.
Speaking out,
Douglas Olson
To the Editor:
During the intermission at the
Dick Anthony concert, many of us
in attendance were deeply impress-ed
by Dr. Lundquist's announce-ment
that two parties are each
contributing $100,1000 to Bethel.
Should this not cause us as
Bethel students to pause and eval-uate
our relationship to God, to
Bethel, and to our world? With
people so dedicated to our school,
we must do our best to make our
Bethel experience a wise invest-ment
for them.
We may be more than willing to
gain from classes, from chapel.
and from inter-personal relations,
but in addition we must be prompt-ed
to give, "for it is in giving that
we receive."
Are you worth an investment?
Bev Swenson
To the Editor:
My friend and I are writing in
regard to the prayer that was of-fered
in chapel on Wednesday, the
26th of October. In this prayer we
heard the request "Lord, help our
boys in Viet Nam KILL, if need
be."
Because of man's sinfulness, we
understand that it becomes neces-sary
for one to take up arms
against his fellow man. But to ask
God's sanction on killing is hypo-critical.
Instead of asking God's
blessing on our killing, we ought
to fall on our knees before God
asking for His forgiveness and seek
God's guidance in attaining peace
among men.

Opinions expressed In the CLARION do not
necessarily reflect the position of the college
or seminary.
To the Editor:
On reading the last two issues
of the Clarion, I have been read-ing
the very controversial articles
on the inside pages. Some are
from the right wing, some from the
left, some pacifist, and some ridi-cule
of the present administration,
but I don't find article #1 on ex4
pressing what the Bible has to say
and a Christian's view point. The
Biblical view point should be ex-;
pressed in the Clarion.
Could it be true that on Bethel's
campus there is no one student
who knows enough about different
scriptural doctrines to present that
viewpoint? I find that very hard
to believe!
Why couldn't the campus pastor
be invited to express his views in
a column with each issue or why
not invite each faculty member to
express his or her views one in
each issue in a column devoted to
faculty members and occasionally
the campus pastor. Most of all the
students should be participating.
In answer to some of these con-troversial
items mentioned in the
Senate Observer
Students Confront Senate With NSA
first paragraph, I would like to
express what the Bible has to say
concerning these things. If you will
take out your Bible and turn to
the 13th chapter of Romans and
read it through, I think you will
find some definite answers to what
God's Word has to say concerning
these things.
What does the passage say to
your heart? Look at the 7th verse
and note that it doesn't say, if you
agree with the political party or
the way the wars are being run. In
the 8th verse it says "Owe no one
anything . . ." Do you suppose that
might include our government and
its leaders, who according to verse
1 are ". . . instituted by God" and
in verse 2 "Therefore he who re-sists
the authorities resists what
God has appointed and those who
resist will incur judgment."
Christ was obedient unto death
to earthly governments which He
gave authority to in the first place
to glorify His Father. He also knew
that these men could be brought
into a terrible judgment for the
wrong they had committed, but on

the CLARION Page 3 Canadians Welcome Draft Dodgers
by Roger Rapoport
The Collegiate Press Service
(Last of a two-part series)
TORONTO — "I've always thought a man had
an obligation to go fight where his country tells him
to," says Corporal Ron McIntosh, a career soldier
with the Canadian Army. "But it seems to me that
the United States hasn't given its boys much of an
explanation on why they should go to Viet Nam.
So if they want to come up here to escape the draft
it's fine with me."
Most of official Canada views things the same
way. Police, civic, and university administrators as
well as the press solidly endorse the right of U.S.
citizens to avert conscription. U.S. diplomatic and
military officials are not visibly dismayed by the
situation either.
"There's no reason to get your blood pressure
up when you have a few hundred draft dodgers
amidst 30 million draft registrants," National Se-lective
Service Director Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey
said.
"You can't have a sawmill without a little sawdust
and these draft-dodgers are just sawdust. Besides I
don't think they are much of an asset to the United
States. I've told my Canadian friends that they are
welcome to them."
Canada seems happy to oblige. "We don't even
think about it," says a spokesman for the city of
Toronto in the town's posh new city hall. "What's
the saying? What you don't know doesn't hurt you,"
he says whimsically.
A spokesman for the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police explains that the draft status of U.S. im-migrants
is not a matter of Canadian concern.
And the Toronto Globe and Mail wrote in a
recent editorial, "The granting of political asylum
is an accepted principle in all civilized countries.
Canada cannot decently breach this principle."
At the University of Toronto admissions director
E.M. Davidson says the draft status of American
applicants is not a factor in admission to the school.
"We admit exclusively on academic and behavioral
grounds."
Davidson has noticed no upsurge of applicants
from American men to the school. In fact, the num-ber
of U.S. male applicants has fallen off in recent
months. "But that's probably because the draft is
draining off a lot of our prospective American
students," he explains.
Several Canadian organizations actively assist ex-patriates.
The Student Union for Peace Action with
headquarters at 659 Spadina St. has become the Wel-come
Wagon for American draft dodgers. It helps
new arrivals to settle.
While SUPA leader Tony Hyde is quick to explain
that his organization "makes no move to get people
to come up here," it has published an informative
15-cent pamphlet called "Coming to Canada?" for
"Americans concerned about the possibility of being
drafted."
The informative document includes all perti-nent
information on such crucial matters as de-portation,
extradition, customs, and landed im-migrant
status (a pre-requisite to Canadian citizen-ship).
In essence it says that coming to Canada
poses no major problem for the draft dodger who
plans ahead.
Hyde says the pamphlet is "our fastest selling item
at present. We get about 50 requests a week and the
number is growing."
But he is quick to point out that the pamphlet
is no moneymaker. "We lose two cents on every
pamphlet since we send them out airmail at 17 cents.
But we want to do it that way since a lot of our
orders come from urgent cases."
Another organization aiding draft dodgers is
the Fellowship for Reconciliation, a small Christian
pacifist group. The group's Canadian National sec-retary,
Brewster Kneen, says he "tore up his draft
card into fine pieces and mailed it back to the
draft board," after moving here from Cleveland.
Kneen says one of the most encouraging things
about Canada to new arrivals is the lack of "pressure
to become Canadian. No one makes you take on
some kind of superficial idealogy. It's not like Ameri-ca
where you must do it or get drummed out. I'd
much rather bring up my kids here than in Cleve-land."
Nicholas Volk, U.S. Vice-Consul in Toronto says
he is not worried about the aid Canadian groups are
giving American draft dodgers. "It's none of our
concern," says Volk. "We feel it's a matter for the
Canadian government. We are guests here."
Volk says of draft dodging: "Anything like this
naturally encourages the Communists, but general-ly
I think the problem is overrated."
Nonetheless American officials have taken an ac-tive
interest in special cases. The Royal Canadian
Mounted Police says it receives five or six inquiries
a month from the Federal Bureau of Investigation
seeking to find Canadian citizens who lived or work-ed
in the U.S. and returned to Canada when they
received their draft notices. (Canadians who live in
the U.S. are subject to American draft laws.)
And one draft dodger reports that a woman who
had been actively finding homes for the new American
arrivals was recently visited by agents from the Am-erican
Secret Service and the Royal Canadian Mount-ed
Police.
When the officials questioned the woman about
her settlement activities of the previous weekend
she offered the perfect alibi. The woman explained
that she had gone to see "Don Giovanni" at the
Stratford, Ontario, drama festival.
"Who's 'Don Giovanni'?" asked one interrogator
suspiciously.
Still, the amount of pressure on the draft dodgers
and their friends is minimal in Canada. The U.S.
expatriates point out that the absence of a Canadian
draft gives them far more freedom.
"Everyone thinks that because the United States
is a democracy," says one expatriate, "that we are
obliged to follow all its laws. But that's not true.
Simply because the draft law was democratically
passed doesn't mean we should be prohibited from
going against it."
Gen. Hershey disagrees. "Congress never took
notice of political reasons for wanting to stay out
of the Army. You couldn't run a democracy if every-one
obeyed the laws he liked and defied the ones he
didn't. Why you couldn't even run a fraternity unless
everyone went along with majority decisions."
Still Hershey is not dismayed by the spector of
young men leaving the country to avoid the draft.
`This isn't anything new," he explains. "There's
always been people who've left their country to
avoid conscription. The history books tell us that
many of the mid-19th century immigrants to the
U.S. were leaving central European countries to
escape compulsory service. And a lot of them be-came
fine citizens here."
The Selective Service director contends that Am-erican
conscription "provides the military strength
to protect Canada and keep it draft free. As long as
you've got a big brother around you don't have to
learn how to box."
Student Reformers Miss
Real College Experience
by Nancy Applequist
"With administration and student body cooperating, it is
possible for our college generation to remain in step with the
current trend." This quote from October 27's editorial on the
ancient apathy/involement problem is probably the worst
reason for doing anything.
It is a safe bet that if many of these "articulate, sensitive
and enterprising college students" at other schools who speak
out so boldly on The Issues knew they were doing so to be
"in step with the current trend" they would about-face with
all speed — (of course it might be a sloppy about-face since
most of them are militantly devoted to avoiding Uncle Sam's
offer of instruction in that area.)
No students like being baby-sat for four years. All ap-preciate
being treated as adults, especially those who are
patently still adolescent. All would like to feel well-informed
about issues, and most have an opinion, well-informed or not.
But continuous agitation for reforms great and small is
not necessarily enviable. What is the major purpose of the
academic community if not academics? All.too many reformers
sleep with magic marker in hand so to facilitate leaping up at
a moment's inspiration to make picket signs for the latest
crusade
It is "in" right now to be intense, serious and issue-minded.
It is "in" to quote current reformers, to be a poly sci enthu-siast
and to articulate at the top of your voice. The cry is not
come to the head of the class but come to the head of the
rally and show you care. Young America, taking an active role
in its own (school) (state) (national) government — isn't it
wonderful, the torch is being passed!
Too many students can't write acceptable papers for any
course, can't understand a foreign language because they
don't know English grammar, can't quote anybody EXCEPT
current reformers because they have never heard of any
major historical figures.
The urge to reform too easily siren-songs students away
from the basics — to say nothing of trying to grapple with the
deeper philosophical mysteries of life on a somewhat sophisti-cated
level. One can sing in choir, work on the paper, serve
on committees, articulate in Senate like Mad, and miss the
point of college.
Yes, it is to make us "well-rounded" "well-informed" active
citizens and participants. Yes, we should be aware of The Is-sues.
But some of us are wary when anyone pulls a Pope
Urban II on us and starts crusade-preaching.
If there are crying abuses it is a neglect of anyone's duty
not to bring them to light. But for so many college students
this gets to be the biggest game since football. If I am not
seriously upset about SOMETHING I am out of the trend.
If I am not quoting the current reformers I am anti-intellectu-al
and if I do I am afraid I will be pseudo-intellectual. In
the words of that scholarly of current reformer A.E. New-man:
"Nuts."
Incredibly, a few people may be satisfied with a given
situation — a few may even be so caught up with the wonder
of learning (!) that they don't see themselves as the Twentieth
Century's Peter the Hermit. We don't deny our obligation to
care, we just observe that it is too easy for the college mind
to care indiscriminately.

Recently Chosen Freshman Officers
Express Gratitude, Year's Ambitions
by Linda Sparks
This last week, freshman elec-tions
were held with all the usual
preceding campaigns and posters.
The results are as follows: fresh-men
representatives—Pris Ander-son,
Don Cervin, Charlene Gemar,
Ken Lewis, and Carl Swanson;
treasurer—Ron Skon; secretary—
Pat Keim; vice-president — Gary
Hassellblad; president—Dick Ste-ven.
Dick will be responsible mainly
for calling and presiding over
class meetings. His comments are,
"I am looking forward to the op-portunities
of this year, and would
like to thank those who supported
me in the past election.
"A special thanks to a few in
particular who went out of their
way to help and encourage me.
I hope that in the coming year
we as a class, will work together
and that all our activities will be
centered around Christ."
Gary says that he is looking for-ward
to a good year. His main
duties are social chairman and
planning special projects.
Pat says, "Thank you for elect-ing
me as your secretary and I will
do the best that I can in that of-fice."
She will record class and
cabinet meetings and carry on cor-respondence.
Unfortunately, Ron was not
available for comment. However,
his duty will be to handle the
finances of the freshman class
and pay any bills.
The representatives' jobs are to
bring ideas and problems on the
floor, and to investigate problems
while serving on senate commit-tees.
Some of the senators remarks
are as follows:
Pris Anderson—"Thank every-one
who voted for me. I will do
my best to represent their in-terests
and if there is anything
they want brought up in the sen-ate,
they should feel free to call
me."
Charlene Gemar— 'Thank you to
those who voted for me. I'm will-ing
to help any of those who have
ideas they would like presented
before the senate."
Ken Lewis — "Thanks for your
support. I'm going to look into the
matter of National Student Assoc-iation.
Anyone who would like to
discuss this with me, please feel
free to do so."
Carl Swanson — "I'm thankful
that my class thinks enough of
me to have elected me. If I can
help in any way as far as stu-dent
government is concerned,
I'll be more than happy to do so.
Thanks again for electing me."
Don Cervin was unavailable for
comment.

It had to happen! Sooner or later
someone was bound to let out the
secret — Baroque music is great.
Monday night's concert by the
Munich Chamber Orchestra was as
pleasing an announcement of this
fact as Handel himself might have
wished.
From the opening attack of Han-del's
"Concerto Grosso" to the final
release of Vivaldi's "The Four Sea-sons."
Conductor Hans Stadlmair
held the sixteen-piece orchestra
under a masterful spell. Though at
times nearly motionless, Stadlmair
controlled every pulsation of the'
music.
His highly trained orchestra
played with such disciplined pre-
"The Ringwariths are deadly
enemies, but they are only shag
dows yet of the power and terror
they would possess if the Ruling
Ring was on their master's hand
again." This is the driving force
in J. R. R. Tolkien's trilogy The
Lord of the Rings.
In The Hobbit, an introductory
novel to the trilogy, we are intro-duced
to the "Hobbit" — small,
stout, stocky people, supported by
tough leathery feet covered with
thick, curly hair—who inhabited
the Shire during the Third Age of
Middle-earth.
The Hobbits, Frodo, Sam, Pip-pin
and Merry, have been select-ed
to carry the Ring to the
Cracks of Doom in the depth of
the Fire-Mountain which lies in
Mordor. This fire is the only
means to destroy the Ring which
has powers of invisibility and is
wholly evil and all powerful in
the hands of its maker Sauron,
the Dark Lord.
Thus, Frodo, his friends, and
kindred races (elves and men)
carrying the fate of Middle-earth,
journey into Mordor and thereby
encounter moments of terror and
the resistance of evil.

on Saturday, October 29, at Man-kato

The purpose of the conference
was two-fold: to sponsor good
literary criticism and to gather
Hobbit fans together. We were
addressed by several speakers
from various universities includ-ing:
David M. Miller, Purdue
University; Dorothy K. Barbar,
U. of M. Morris; and George
Burke Johnston, Virginia Poly-technic
Institute.
Each speaker dealt with a re-lated
topic such as, the meaning
of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien's
moral universe, his intention in
the trilogy and his sources.
The highlight of the conference
was Mrs. Barbar's dissertation on
the meaning in the trilogy. Tol-kien,
being a Christian, has de-picted
good and evil as presented
in the Bible, man's struggle in
free will which is possessed by
every living thing in Middle-earth
(including the Ring), and Provi-dence
which works beyond the
reach of man.
Thus the trilogy can be read for
its Christian implications or mere-ly
for the pure delight of living
in a suspense-filled fantasy of Mid-dle-
earth.

THEATRE
Arthur Miller's drama, "Death of a Salesman" will be held over
at St. Paul's Eastside Theatre.
Managing director Craig Scherfenberg announced today that the
popular drama will get a one week extension of its run, with addi-tional
performances scheduled for November 4 and 5.
The holdover came because of turn-away crowds and sellout per-formances,
Scherfenberg said.
"Death of a Salesman" stars Stu Gang and Rosemary Hartup in the
tense story of a travelling salesman whose crumbling life leads him to-ward
suicide.
Performances are 8:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Nov.
5, at the theatre, 311 Ramsey St., St. Paul. Reservations are necessary.
Tickets are available at Dayton's or the Eastside ticket office, 226-
0625. Eastside's next production, opening Dec. 1, will be he Meredith
Willson Christmas-motif musical, "Here's Love."
ART
Augsburg College is pleased to announce the opening of the A.
Malcolm Gimse sculpture and ceramics show in the Scholarship Gallery,
October 20 to November 11. The Scholarshop, located on 23rd and River-side,
reopened on September 26.
This non-profit gallery was developed, and is being promoted by
the Augsburg College Student Development Council. Its purpose is
to exhibit the work of well known midwestern artists and that of the
Augsburg students.
Through the sale of these works, a scholarship fund has been
established for deserving Augsburg students.
The Student Development Council cordially invites you to visit the
Scholarshop. The hours are: Monday through Friday 3:30 to 6:00 and
Saturday and Sunday 1:00 through 6:00.
MUSIC
Tenor Jon Crain and Baritone Morley Meredith, both of whom have
sung with the Metropolitan Opera, have been cast in the St. Paul Civic
Opera's coming production of Offenbach's last opera, "Tales of Hoff-mann."
The work will be presented in English at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday,
Nov. 10 and Saturday, Nov. 12 in the St. Paul Auditorium theater.
Crain, who will have the title role, is one of the busiest operatic
performers on the scene today. Earlier this year he sang Hoffmann
with the Geneva Opera and had a leading role in the American pre-miere
of "Angel of Fire" with the New York City Opera. Last year he
sang Herod in a concert performance of "Salome" with the Minneapolis
Symphony.
While studying for the operatic stage, Crain worked as a featured
vocalist with Xavier Cugat's dance band. He also once had a coast to
coast radio show under the name of Victor Brones.
Also a recording artist, he sings Mr. Snow in a recent recording of
Richard Rodgers' "Carousel" opposite Roberta Peters and Alfred Drake,
haS recorded highlights from Hoffmann with Rosalind Elias and Marcia
Singher and on the Metropolitan Guild recording of "Tosca" he is heard
as Cavaradossi.
Meredith made his debut at the Met in 1962 in the four baritone
roles of Hoffmann, the same parts he will sing in the Civic Opera
production.
In addition to successes with major festivals and guest appearances
with orchestras throughout the United States and Canada. Prior to his
Met debut, he co-starred on Broadway with Maureen O'Hara in the
musical, "Christine."
Twin cities artists who will have featured roles are Joan Lindusky,
256 Twelfth Ave. S., South St. Paul; Bruce Neilson, 6313 Mildred Ave.,
Minneapolis; Lois Duffy, 3809 Washburn Ave. S., Minneapolis; Carol
Stuart, 502 Texas Ave., Hopkins; and Christine McSpadden, 5315 Colum-bus
Ave., Minneapolis.
Others in the cast from the New York stage include Gail Manners,
last seen here in "Marriage of Figaro" with her husband, Walter
Cassel, as Guiletta; and Luigi Velluci as Cochenille.
Tickets to "Tales of Hoffman" are available by mail order from
the Central Ticket Office, 14 West 5th St., St. Paul.

German musicians played a state-ly
"Divertimento" by the classi-cal
master Joseph Haydn. Here
especially Stadlmair projected
himself into the mood and style
of the music, much to the de-light
of conducting enthusiasts.
At times he conducted with fac-ial
expressions only! But the
group never faltered.
The concert began Baroque and
fittingly ended there too. Antonio
Vivaldi's magnificent "The Four
Seasons" was a delight from be-ginning
to end. One hardly knew
where to direct his attention; to
Stadlmair, so beautifully conduct-,
ing, to the solo violinist, so utter-ly
intense in his virtuosity, or to
the remaining orchestra members
who made extremely difficult mu-sic

In all, the programmed "Spring,"

were communicated at a level
which this amateur would contend
did justice to Vivaldi at his best.

The Seminary football team
again this year has been one of
the powers in the intramural lea-gue.
In rolling over Asbury 26-6,
Second Old 28-0, First Floor 44-0,
and Third New by forfeit, the Sem-inary
has appeared to be the tough
est team in the league.
Undoubtedly the Semnariy has
shown the best offense and pos-sibly
the best defense of any team
in intramurals.
The offense, led by quarter-back
Duane Johnson and flanker
Dennis Port, has relied heavily
on a potent passing attack.
Quarterback Johnson in three
league games and in one ex-hibition
has thrown fourteen
touchdown passes, and Port has
received six of them.
Dave Kastelein, blocking back,
has scored on two touchdown pas-ses,
and ends Bruce Ericson and
Mark Coleman are also capable
receivers.
The offensive line consisting of
guards Bill Hoyt and Bob McNeil
and center Dave Stribling, is by fat
the biggest in the school, includ-ing
the Bethel varsity.
The blocking of the line and
halfback Kastelein provides John-son
with ample time to get off
his passes, and to hit his re-ceivers.
Equally important to the Semin-ary's
success is their rugged de-fense.
The line, anchored by mid-dle
guard Bill Hoyt and ends Mike
Bohlen and Dave Petersen, puts a
tremendous rush on the opposing
quarterback, causing many inter-ceptions.
The linebacking of Bert Heep
and Terry Port has kept the other
team off balance with their blitzes,
and the secondary has done an ex-cellent
job of snatching errant
throws caused by the strong rush.
More important, however, the
defense consistently keeps the
other team bottled up in its own
territory, giving the offense ex-cellent
field position most of the
time.
The reason for the Seminary's,
perennial strength is commonly be-lieved
to be its use of former
Bethel varsity letterwinners, but
according to Seminary player, Den-nis
Port, this is just not so.
He says that no team member
has ever earned a Bethel letter.
But Port did say "the esprit de

the Sem has excellent players, but
he maintains that the spirit de-veloped

Considering that there have been
many forfeits in the intramural
football program this year, and
after seeing how well the Semin-arians

appear that unity and enthusiasm
are vital weapons the Seminary
has over other teams.

Esprit de Corps Powers Seminarians
In Apathetic Intramural Competition
by Lynn Bergfalk
Coming up with a satisfactory intramural system has al-ways
been a headache. In an attempt to bolster participation
this year the program was radically restructed. Now, with
regular games completed and playoffs ready to begin, it's not
too early to draw a few conclusions regarding the effectiveness
of the new 10 team-two division setup.
Basically there are two main problems. As usual parti-cipation
has been poor. More about that later. Secondly the
league is poorly balanced with Phelps and Seminary wiping up
all competition. Phelp's defense has yet to allow a point, al-though
the team has at least had some tight games. Their
tough, gutty play deserves a great deal of praise.
The Seminary team is another matter. Their defense
has given up one lone touchdown, while the offense has rol-led
up 97 points. However, praising their record is similar to
calling a 300 pound bum with a switch blade "sir." They
ought to be a powerhouse.
An inspection of their ranks shows the pulpiteers with
two boys who have been out for Bethel football, one that
reportedly played for Wheaton, and one lad who was a start-ing
back for Taylor. In addition, the rest of the fellows have
had three or four years of intramural experience.
Furthermore they have three times as many men to
draw from as the college intramural teams. With superior
numbers they can carry their long-winded tactics from the
pulpit to the playing field.
The logical way of equalizing this power would be set-ting
up two teams from the Seminary. This would leave in-tramurals
with only one major problem to solve — partici-pation.
Traditionally participation has been worse than that
in a deadpan testimony meeting and this season only 60%
of scheduled games have been played. In one division As-bury
took the field for only one game, losing 26-6, but
tying for second place with a 2-1 record as they won two
by forfiet.
There are bound to be legitimate reasons for occasionally
missing a game — a work conflict or a bout of malaria. But it
is indeed a sad state of affairs when, out of a group of 50 or 60,
there are not even eight boys who are not too dainty to engage
in a game of touch football. This sort of a situation will not be
corrected by any change in organization — it can only be
changed by the fellows themselves.

The Mayville Comets of North

The contest was the hardest hit-ting
home clash of the season—
and it shows: Ron Harris, broken

shoulder; John Carmean, bruised
elbow; Gary Wilson, undetermined
leg injury.
Mayville took the opening kick-off

in five plays for an early
score. Ron Strand, out the past
two seasons with broken legs,
displayed no handicaps in toting

after less than two minutes of
play.
Following the kickoff, Al Se-lander
plucked a Bill Englund pass
for a first down near midfield.
However, the Royals were forced
to punt four plays later. The
Comets then moved the ball from
the 22 to the 35 yard line where
they were forced to punt.
In the next two minutes three
key breaks emerged. Englund fum-bled
on his own 41 and the Comets
recovered. The Bethel defense rose
to the occasion and held, but a
roughing-the-kicker penalty gave
Mayville a first down on the Royal
26. Two plays later Strand scored
again, this time on a 23 yard toss
from quarterback Jim Dews. The
try for point was wide.
Shortly after came the break
which discouraged the Royals.
On the ensuing kickoff, Dave
Pound came within one tackle
of going 90 yards for a touch-down.
As it was, the Royals had
good field position on the Comet
44 yard line. Englund then hit
John Carmean with a pass on
the buttonhook pattern for a
first down on the 32.
On the next play, in eagerness
to get away, Dave Moss fumbled
and Mayville recovered on its own
20. This time the North Dakotans
drove 80 yards with Parker Wil-liams
capping the drive with a 14
yard double reverse. The kick was
good. The Comets led 20-0 and
the game was still in the first
quarter!
The Royals gallantly fought back,
and aided by a 45 yard Englund-
Bob Sundquist—
it was that kind of day.
Thursday, November 3, 1966
Carmean combination hit the
scoreboard. Al Selander went over
from the four for the touchdown,
but the kick for point failed.
Mayville scored again one min-ute
later on a 62 yard spinning
spectacular by fullback Tom So-holt.
Ray Gibbons booted the
successful PAT over the fence
and out of sight. The leaders
added their fifth touchdown of
the half when Ken Pierce went
over from two yards with 51 sec-onds
left. Gibbons duplicated his
feat to make the halftime score
34-6 for Mayville.
With a 28 point halftime deficit,
one might think of . . . The thought
apparently did not enter the
Royals' minds. Three minutes into
the third quarter, Dave Pound
"Chagrined" the Comets with a 50
yard scoring sweep. Along the way
he flirted with the sidelines and
nearly danced with the Mayville
Last Saturday, Como Park was
the site of Bethel's third straight
victory in cross country. Under
sunny skies and a rather cold tem-perature
of forty degrees, the
Royal harriers put on a fine dis-play
of long distince running in
topping St. Paul Bible College by
a score of 22-33.
Freshman Steve Johnson turned
in a masterful performance in tak-ing
first place in the meet. In
leading his team to victory, he cov-ered
the 3.8 mile course in 19:38.
This was his best time, and in
fact, it was only five seconds from
Bethel's freshman record.
Also establishing his best time,
20:45, was Steve Roe. This gave
him a third place finish for his
team. Two of his fellow team-mates,
Dave Moulton and Dave
Haring, were right behind him,
the former finishing fourth and
the latter taking fifth place for the
Royals. Moulton's time was 20:05
while Haring's was 21:40. Ken Min-nis
took ninth.
The lone bright spot for St. Paul
Bible College was a second place
finish by Ken Ehresman. His time
was 20:04. The four other partici-pants
for St. Paul Bible took sixth,
seventh, eighth, and tenth places.
reserves. Larry Peterson added the
PAT.
Three characteristics marked the
remainder of the game-1) hard
hitting defense, 2) a leaping field
goal block by Bethel's Dave An-derson,
and 3) the inability of both
teams to move the ball consistent-ly.
(Gibbons, however, later added
a field goal for Mayville.) The
first and last characteristics quite
possibly are related.
For example, Mayville picked
up 218 yards rushing the first
half but only 31 in the second.
On the other hand, Bethel's most
potent offensive weapon, the for-ward
pass, was quite sporadic.
Englund hit six of eleven the
first half, but only seven of
twenty-four in the second. In the
first down department, Mayville
edged Bethel 16-15.
The Royals attempt to even their
season record of 3-4 in the season
finale this week at Valley City,
North Dakota.
Saturday was a very rewarding
day for Bethel's harriers. Next,
Saturday at 1:00 p.m., the Royals
will seek their fourth successive
victory as they face a tough La-
Cross team. The site for the event
will once again be Como Park.

With a heavy travel schedule
through three states, the Bethel
Royal Players take off Friday noon
on the first major jaunt of their
young touring season. Six actors
and director Dale Rott will span
1200 miles before Sunday evening
as they appear on two special
church programs and assist in
three Sunday worship services.
The drama personnel will pre-sent
the familiar "Conquest in Bur-ma"
four times over the weekend
to churches who have requested
that it be presented in their lo-calities.
In addition, they will give
the dialogue sermon "Sacrifice—
No!" at one point on the trip.
First stop is Waverly, Iowa,
where "Conquest in Burma" will
highlight a special missionary
rally sponsored Friday evening
by several churches. The next
evening brings the troupe to Ev-anston,
Illinois, where they will
feature the same play at a spe-cial
fall rally in the Calvary
Baptist Church.
Sunday they move north to West
Allis, Wisconsin, and the Beloit
Road Baptist Church there. During
the Sunday School hour they will
again perform "Conquest in Bur-ma."

morning worship hour. Another
long stretch of travel will carry
the group to central Wisconsin
where they have scheduled an ev-ening
performance of "Conquest in

"Conquest in Burma" details the
major events in the life of Adoni-ram
and Ann Judson, first mission-aries
to Burma. Dale Cope and
Mary Ruetten play these leads,
with Jill Graham as Narrator;
Character and supporting roles are
handled by Dave Stagg (playing
three parts), Darryl Berg (with two
roles), Bob Bryant, Jeff Loomis,
and Director Rott. The play is by
Albert Johnson of the University
of Redlands in California.
Dale Cope also plays the cen-tral
figure, Man, in the dialogue
sermon, as he is beset by contra.
dictory viewpoints offered from
the Tempter, played by Dave
Stagg, and Conscience, enacted
by Darryl Berg. Also as part of
the hour in which the sermon
is presented, Mr. Rott will nar-rate
"Nails" and Jill Graham will
sing two solos.

Olivet Nazarene College of Kan-kakee,
Illinois was host last week
to the American Association of
Evangelical Students. The confer-ence
held on Thursday and Fri-day,
October 27 and 28, was at-tended
by three delegates from
Bethel College.
Chief consideration for the con-ference
was the theme "Our Chris-tian
Heritage." Dr. Gordon Clark,
and Dr. Martin Marty were two
prominent guests at the regional
conference who addressed them-selves
to the relationship of his-tory
and the Christian.
Dr. Clark in a one hour ad-dress
spoke to the delegates on
"The Marxist Theory of History,"
of the delegates represented Bible
colleges, with a sizable represen-tation
from Christian liberal arts
schools.
Representatives from Bethel
were Jim Keim, Linda C. Olson,
and Jonathan P. Larson. The
delegation left the campus Wed-nesday
and returned Saturday.
Sidelights to the conference
were the performance of Frostiana
by the Olivet Orpheus, Viking, and
Trebel choirs, and an evening din-ner
concluding the meetings.
Business confronting the con-ference
included a discussion of
the purposes of the organization,
the ideological stance of the or-ganization,
and the increased de-sire
for exchange of ideas between
representative schools.
The Conference Board of Publi-cations
voted this summer to offer
a fifty dollar award to that stu-dent

creative writing during the year.
The entries must be submitted
to the English department of the
College by March 1, 1967. They
will be judged by the editorial staff
of Harvest Publications and the
winning entry will be published in
the appropriate Harvest Publica-tions
periodical. The award will
be made at the Bethel Honors

and Dr. Marty spoke on Friday
on two occasions, "Carrying the

later "Travelling Light: The

The conference was punctuated
by numerous discussion sessions
designed to analyze current cam-pus
problems and provide a forum
for the free flow of student ideas
and reactions. Topics of discussion
included, "The Place of Student

"The Effect of Campus Publication

Swelling Gulf of Purpose Letters View Articles, Gifts, Prayer
Presently Faces AAES
by Jonathan P. Larson
The AAES, American Association of Evangelical Students
is an organization trapped in a limbo of purposes and goals.
Though it has existed for ten years, it is evident that the or-ganization
lacks a feeling of direction.
The Preamble of the AAES constitution declares that it
is dedicated first to foster a bond of Christian fellowship be-tween
member student bodies. This is indeed a worthy intent.
Yet the association has failed to realize this for one reason.
The AAES is not influential enough to hold a strong place in
the college publications, and as a result in the minds of the
individual student body members. If an organization is to be
strong, the basis from which it draws its support must be in-formed
and concerned about its existence. To build and organi-zation
apart from the personal lives of its members is to build
upon a weak foundation.
2) AAES exists to propose study of and suggest solutions
to mutual problems. The Association has partly fulfilled this
declared intent through the various discussion sessions. In-creased
effectiveness of the discussion sessions could be
effected through a more intense focus by the guest speakers
on current problems which nag and in some instances have
riddled our Christian campuses. •
3) AAES is dedicated to promoting the highest standard of
scholarship among member schools. This will be a very diffi-cult
purpose to pursue. Judging from the present strength of
the organization it would be inconceivable that the AAES could
make any progress in this direction within the next five years.
Concrete plans to boost academic standards have not been
laid. In fact, this seemed to be a neglected plank in the inter-action
of the delegates.
4) AAES is to aid member schools in fulfilling the goals
and purposes of the individual institutions. Here again the
AAES addresses itself to the individual constituent schools.
Yet to date the AAES has failed to penetrate the floating
nebulous organization held together by erratic newsletters
which find their way into student council files.
5) AAES exists to promote and exercise an active in-terest
in the affairs of national, state, and local govern-ments
and social institutions. The AAES sees itself as an
organization that will confront students on evangelical cam-puses
with the importance of politics and society as it bears
on the existence of the church. This will require a large or-ganized
staff to prepare material on a relevant way, and dis-seminate
this material throughout the schools. Campus co-ordinators
from the AAES will have to be insightful people
capable of discerning local political problems and publi-cizing
them in an intelligent, objective manner. This is a
big order, far beyond the present capacity of the AAES to
fulfill.
6) AAES proports to promote creative student leadership
as an integral part of the educational .'process for the
purpose of effective student government. Because AAES con-ferences
are attended by student leaders, the dialog which
occurs in such a situation is probably the sanest purpose
the AAES has set forth. For the delegate, a broader under-standing
of campus problems is inevitable, and a coordinated
search for an answer to these problems will indeed be a creative
effort resulting in more competent and mature leaders.
AAES is straddling a widening gulf. The organization must
either enisage a broader staff, with an increased budget, and
more intimate contact with its constituents, or else redefine
itself in terms of the material it has at hand. A failure to do
so will result in the eventual collapse of the association. If the
AAES chooses to do the former, programs for progress will be
necessary. Strong leaders that can consolidate and expand will
be at the top of a need list. The life of this organization will be
determined by its ability and decision to choose, and then to
act.
Twin City Colleges Open
For Interlibrary Exchange
by Leonard Sammons
On Tuesday night, November 1,
the Bethel Student Senate layed
aside any claim it had of being an,
effective representative body.
The meeting had an encouraging
start as Mr. Keim reminded
visitors of their right to address
the Senate when the large band
of visitors began to ask questions
regarding last week's renewal of
NSA membership.
After only token response from
Senators, the Senate led by Bob
Olson and Ron Stone limited in-struction
to two more minutes.
This Miss Kathy Harvie prompt-ly
filled by reading from the
NSA manual.
The action to limit discussion
was opposed by Ken Lewis, John
Sailhamer and three other sen-ators.
Three weeks ago this observer
noted that lack of communication
between students and Senators was
the fault of both. However, it is
now necessary for me to recant
that opinion. The students do not
deserve any blame; it must go to
the Senators.
When the Senate turns down
the queries of a dozen students
with no more than pat answers,
they take upon themselves the
complete blame.
The Senate spent much of the
remainder of the evening discus-sing
how they could explain the
NSA issue to the senate body.
Led by Miss Harvie, they called
for an "objective" article to be
put in the CLARION next week.
This observer thinks this idea
poor for two reasons: 1) Mr. Keim
Bethel College students may use
other Twin Cities libraries subject
to certain regulations. Bethel par-ticipates
in an interlibrary loan
agreement with Augsburg, Ham-line,
Macalester, St. Catherine, and
St. Thomas colleges that permits
borrowing books when requested
by a librarian from the student's
home institution.
Bethel students wishing to use
a book that is not in Bethel's col-lection
should ask a librarian if
the book may be borrowed from
one of the other libraries. The
librarian will call these libraries
and arrange for the loan. The stu-.
dent can then pick up the book
at the other library by presenting
The fourth annual Kansas City
Poetry Contests offering $1,600 in
prizes and the publication of a
book-length manuscript have been
announced by Thorpe Menn, liter-ary
editor of the Kansas City Star,
who is to write the article, is ob
viously committed to one side of
the issue. Therefore, any attempt
to call the article "objective"
would be erroneous.
2) The Senate refused to explain
its views in the meeting to those
who obviously were interested.
It would be the height of hypoc-risy
to put it in the CLARION
for the benefit of those who are
probably not as interested.
The attempt of Bill Ledkins to
establish a forum or debate to
inform students on what NSA is,
what it does, and why we joined
was defeated, 10-6. One cannot
help but wonder if this was not
from fear on the part of Senators
that the students would reveal
themselves as opposed to t h e
deeds of the Senate.
the yellow slip he receives from
the librarian.
Policies vary at other libraries.
The Bethel Seminary library will
loan -up to five books on the col-lege
student's identification card.
St. Paul Bible College and Bethel
College and Seminary libraries
have an informal arrangement
which allows students to borrow
books freely from each others' lib-raries.
The St. Paul Public Library
issues student cards to students
from St. Paul colleges.
Most other libraries require a
deposit or charge a fee to bor-rowers
who are not a part of the
community they serve. However,
most libraries permit use of their
materials on the library premises.
one of four sponsors of the con-tests.
Six $100 awards will be offered
to college students for single
poems in the Hallmark Honor
Prize competition, sponsored by
Hallmark Cards, Inc., the Kansas
City greeting card publisher.
The Dr. Edward A. Devins
Award will offer a $500 advance
on royalties for a book-length
manuscript to be published and
distributed by the University of
Missouri Press. Both the Hall-mark
and the Devins awards are
offered on a national basis.
Two additional competitions are
open to residents of the Mid-Am-erica
region. Four $100 prizes are
offered for single poems by the
Kansas City Star, and high school
students in the area may compete
for four $25 prizes awarded by H.
Jay Sharp, a Kansas City business-man.
Closing date for submission of
entries is February 1, 1967. The
winners will be announced on Ap-ril
27, 1967, at the last event of
the 1966-67 American Poets' Ser-ies
at the Jewish Community Cen-ter
in Kansas City. Complete rules
may be obtained by sending a self-addressed
stamped envelope to:
the cross said, "Father, forgive
them; for they know not what they

this read I Peter 2:13-21.
It is fine for the Clarion to have
controversial articles in it, but
being we are a Christ centered
school, let's have the Christian
view point, too. Some secular
papers have more scripture than I
have seen so far in the Clarion.
Speaking out,
Douglas Olson
To the Editor:
During the intermission at the
Dick Anthony concert, many of us
in attendance were deeply impress-ed
by Dr. Lundquist's announce-ment
that two parties are each
contributing $100,1000 to Bethel.
Should this not cause us as
Bethel students to pause and eval-uate
our relationship to God, to
Bethel, and to our world? With
people so dedicated to our school,
we must do our best to make our
Bethel experience a wise invest-ment
for them.
We may be more than willing to
gain from classes, from chapel.
and from inter-personal relations,
but in addition we must be prompt-ed
to give, "for it is in giving that
we receive."
Are you worth an investment?
Bev Swenson
To the Editor:
My friend and I are writing in
regard to the prayer that was of-fered
in chapel on Wednesday, the
26th of October. In this prayer we
heard the request "Lord, help our
boys in Viet Nam KILL, if need
be."
Because of man's sinfulness, we
understand that it becomes neces-sary
for one to take up arms
against his fellow man. But to ask
God's sanction on killing is hypo-critical.
Instead of asking God's
blessing on our killing, we ought
to fall on our knees before God
asking for His forgiveness and seek
God's guidance in attaining peace
among men.

Opinions expressed In the CLARION do not
necessarily reflect the position of the college
or seminary.
To the Editor:
On reading the last two issues
of the Clarion, I have been read-ing
the very controversial articles
on the inside pages. Some are
from the right wing, some from the
left, some pacifist, and some ridi-cule
of the present administration,
but I don't find article #1 on ex4
pressing what the Bible has to say
and a Christian's view point. The
Biblical view point should be ex-;
pressed in the Clarion.
Could it be true that on Bethel's
campus there is no one student
who knows enough about different
scriptural doctrines to present that
viewpoint? I find that very hard
to believe!
Why couldn't the campus pastor
be invited to express his views in
a column with each issue or why
not invite each faculty member to
express his or her views one in
each issue in a column devoted to
faculty members and occasionally
the campus pastor. Most of all the
students should be participating.
In answer to some of these con-troversial
items mentioned in the
Senate Observer
Students Confront Senate With NSA
first paragraph, I would like to
express what the Bible has to say
concerning these things. If you will
take out your Bible and turn to
the 13th chapter of Romans and
read it through, I think you will
find some definite answers to what
God's Word has to say concerning
these things.
What does the passage say to
your heart? Look at the 7th verse
and note that it doesn't say, if you
agree with the political party or
the way the wars are being run. In
the 8th verse it says "Owe no one
anything . . ." Do you suppose that
might include our government and
its leaders, who according to verse
1 are ". . . instituted by God" and
in verse 2 "Therefore he who re-sists
the authorities resists what
God has appointed and those who
resist will incur judgment."
Christ was obedient unto death
to earthly governments which He
gave authority to in the first place
to glorify His Father. He also knew
that these men could be brought
into a terrible judgment for the
wrong they had committed, but on

by Roger Rapoport
The Collegiate Press Service
(Last of a two-part series)
TORONTO — "I've always thought a man had
an obligation to go fight where his country tells him
to," says Corporal Ron McIntosh, a career soldier
with the Canadian Army. "But it seems to me that
the United States hasn't given its boys much of an
explanation on why they should go to Viet Nam.
So if they want to come up here to escape the draft
it's fine with me."
Most of official Canada views things the same
way. Police, civic, and university administrators as
well as the press solidly endorse the right of U.S.
citizens to avert conscription. U.S. diplomatic and
military officials are not visibly dismayed by the
situation either.

amidst 30 million draft registrants," National Se-lective
Service Director Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey
said.
"You can't have a sawmill without a little sawdust
and these draft-dodgers are just sawdust. Besides I
don't think they are much of an asset to the United
States. I've told my Canadian friends that they are
welcome to them."
Canada seems happy to oblige. "We don't even
think about it," says a spokesman for the city of
Toronto in the town's posh new city hall. "What's
the saying? What you don't know doesn't hurt you,"
he says whimsically.
A spokesman for the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police explains that the draft status of U.S. im-migrants
is not a matter of Canadian concern.
And the Toronto Globe and Mail wrote in a
recent editorial, "The granting of political asylum
is an accepted principle in all civilized countries.
Canada cannot decently breach this principle."
At the University of Toronto admissions director
E.M. Davidson says the draft status of American
applicants is not a factor in admission to the school.
"We admit exclusively on academic and behavioral
grounds."
Davidson has noticed no upsurge of applicants
from American men to the school. In fact, the num-ber
of U.S. male applicants has fallen off in recent
months. "But that's probably because the draft is
draining off a lot of our prospective American
students," he explains.
Several Canadian organizations actively assist ex-patriates.
The Student Union for Peace Action with
headquarters at 659 Spadina St. has become the Wel-come
Wagon for American draft dodgers. It helps
new arrivals to settle.
While SUPA leader Tony Hyde is quick to explain
that his organization "makes no move to get people
to come up here," it has published an informative
15-cent pamphlet called "Coming to Canada?" for
"Americans concerned about the possibility of being
drafted."
The informative document includes all perti-nent
information on such crucial matters as de-portation,
extradition, customs, and landed im-migrant
status (a pre-requisite to Canadian citizen-ship).
In essence it says that coming to Canada
poses no major problem for the draft dodger who
plans ahead.
Hyde says the pamphlet is "our fastest selling item
at present. We get about 50 requests a week and the
number is growing."
But he is quick to point out that the pamphlet
is no moneymaker. "We lose two cents on every
pamphlet since we send them out airmail at 17 cents.
But we want to do it that way since a lot of our
orders come from urgent cases."
Another organization aiding draft dodgers is
the Fellowship for Reconciliation, a small Christian
pacifist group. The group's Canadian National sec-retary,
Brewster Kneen, says he "tore up his draft
card into fine pieces and mailed it back to the
draft board," after moving here from Cleveland.
Kneen says one of the most encouraging things
about Canada to new arrivals is the lack of "pressure
to become Canadian. No one makes you take on
some kind of superficial idealogy. It's not like Ameri-ca
where you must do it or get drummed out. I'd
much rather bring up my kids here than in Cleve-land."
Nicholas Volk, U.S. Vice-Consul in Toronto says
he is not worried about the aid Canadian groups are
giving American draft dodgers. "It's none of our
concern," says Volk. "We feel it's a matter for the
Canadian government. We are guests here."
Volk says of draft dodging: "Anything like this
naturally encourages the Communists, but general-ly
I think the problem is overrated."
Nonetheless American officials have taken an ac-tive
interest in special cases. The Royal Canadian
Mounted Police says it receives five or six inquiries
a month from the Federal Bureau of Investigation
seeking to find Canadian citizens who lived or work-ed
in the U.S. and returned to Canada when they
received their draft notices. (Canadians who live in
the U.S. are subject to American draft laws.)
And one draft dodger reports that a woman who
had been actively finding homes for the new American
arrivals was recently visited by agents from the Am-erican
Secret Service and the Royal Canadian Mount-ed
Police.
When the officials questioned the woman about
her settlement activities of the previous weekend
she offered the perfect alibi. The woman explained
that she had gone to see "Don Giovanni" at the
Stratford, Ontario, drama festival.
"Who's 'Don Giovanni'?" asked one interrogator
suspiciously.
Still, the amount of pressure on the draft dodgers
and their friends is minimal in Canada. The U.S.
expatriates point out that the absence of a Canadian
draft gives them far more freedom.
"Everyone thinks that because the United States
is a democracy," says one expatriate, "that we are
obliged to follow all its laws. But that's not true.
Simply because the draft law was democratically
passed doesn't mean we should be prohibited from
going against it."
Gen. Hershey disagrees. "Congress never took
notice of political reasons for wanting to stay out
of the Army. You couldn't run a democracy if every-one
obeyed the laws he liked and defied the ones he
didn't. Why you couldn't even run a fraternity unless
everyone went along with majority decisions."
Still Hershey is not dismayed by the spector of
young men leaving the country to avoid the draft.
`This isn't anything new," he explains. "There's
always been people who've left their country to
avoid conscription. The history books tell us that
many of the mid-19th century immigrants to the
U.S. were leaving central European countries to
escape compulsory service. And a lot of them be-came
fine citizens here."
The Selective Service director contends that Am-erican
conscription "provides the military strength
to protect Canada and keep it draft free. As long as
you've got a big brother around you don't have to
learn how to box."
Student Reformers Miss
Real College Experience
by Nancy Applequist
"With administration and student body cooperating, it is
possible for our college generation to remain in step with the
current trend." This quote from October 27's editorial on the
ancient apathy/involement problem is probably the worst
reason for doing anything.
It is a safe bet that if many of these "articulate, sensitive
and enterprising college students" at other schools who speak
out so boldly on The Issues knew they were doing so to be
"in step with the current trend" they would about-face with
all speed — (of course it might be a sloppy about-face since
most of them are militantly devoted to avoiding Uncle Sam's
offer of instruction in that area.)
No students like being baby-sat for four years. All ap-preciate
being treated as adults, especially those who are
patently still adolescent. All would like to feel well-informed
about issues, and most have an opinion, well-informed or not.
But continuous agitation for reforms great and small is
not necessarily enviable. What is the major purpose of the
academic community if not academics? All.too many reformers
sleep with magic marker in hand so to facilitate leaping up at
a moment's inspiration to make picket signs for the latest
crusade
It is "in" right now to be intense, serious and issue-minded.
It is "in" to quote current reformers, to be a poly sci enthu-siast
and to articulate at the top of your voice. The cry is not
come to the head of the class but come to the head of the
rally and show you care. Young America, taking an active role
in its own (school) (state) (national) government — isn't it
wonderful, the torch is being passed!
Too many students can't write acceptable papers for any
course, can't understand a foreign language because they
don't know English grammar, can't quote anybody EXCEPT
current reformers because they have never heard of any
major historical figures.
The urge to reform too easily siren-songs students away
from the basics — to say nothing of trying to grapple with the
deeper philosophical mysteries of life on a somewhat sophisti-cated
level. One can sing in choir, work on the paper, serve
on committees, articulate in Senate like Mad, and miss the
point of college.
Yes, it is to make us "well-rounded" "well-informed" active
citizens and participants. Yes, we should be aware of The Is-sues.
But some of us are wary when anyone pulls a Pope
Urban II on us and starts crusade-preaching.
If there are crying abuses it is a neglect of anyone's duty
not to bring them to light. But for so many college students
this gets to be the biggest game since football. If I am not
seriously upset about SOMETHING I am out of the trend.
If I am not quoting the current reformers I am anti-intellectu-al
and if I do I am afraid I will be pseudo-intellectual. In
the words of that scholarly of current reformer A.E. New-man:
"Nuts."
Incredibly, a few people may be satisfied with a given
situation — a few may even be so caught up with the wonder
of learning (!) that they don't see themselves as the Twentieth
Century's Peter the Hermit. We don't deny our obligation to
care, we just observe that it is too easy for the college mind
to care indiscriminately.

Recently Chosen Freshman Officers
Express Gratitude, Year's Ambitions
by Linda Sparks
This last week, freshman elec-tions
were held with all the usual
preceding campaigns and posters.
The results are as follows: fresh-men
representatives—Pris Ander-son,
Don Cervin, Charlene Gemar,
Ken Lewis, and Carl Swanson;
treasurer—Ron Skon; secretary—
Pat Keim; vice-president — Gary
Hassellblad; president—Dick Ste-ven.
Dick will be responsible mainly
for calling and presiding over
class meetings. His comments are,
"I am looking forward to the op-portunities
of this year, and would
like to thank those who supported
me in the past election.
"A special thanks to a few in
particular who went out of their
way to help and encourage me.
I hope that in the coming year
we as a class, will work together
and that all our activities will be
centered around Christ."
Gary says that he is looking for-ward
to a good year. His main
duties are social chairman and
planning special projects.
Pat says, "Thank you for elect-ing
me as your secretary and I will
do the best that I can in that of-fice."
She will record class and
cabinet meetings and carry on cor-respondence.
Unfortunately, Ron was not
available for comment. However,
his duty will be to handle the
finances of the freshman class
and pay any bills.
The representatives' jobs are to
bring ideas and problems on the
floor, and to investigate problems
while serving on senate commit-tees.
Some of the senators remarks
are as follows:
Pris Anderson—"Thank every-one
who voted for me. I will do
my best to represent their in-terests
and if there is anything
they want brought up in the sen-ate,
they should feel free to call
me."
Charlene Gemar— 'Thank you to
those who voted for me. I'm will-ing
to help any of those who have
ideas they would like presented
before the senate."
Ken Lewis — "Thanks for your
support. I'm going to look into the
matter of National Student Assoc-iation.
Anyone who would like to
discuss this with me, please feel
free to do so."
Carl Swanson — "I'm thankful
that my class thinks enough of
me to have elected me. If I can
help in any way as far as stu-dent
government is concerned,
I'll be more than happy to do so.
Thanks again for electing me."
Don Cervin was unavailable for
comment.

It had to happen! Sooner or later
someone was bound to let out the
secret — Baroque music is great.
Monday night's concert by the
Munich Chamber Orchestra was as
pleasing an announcement of this
fact as Handel himself might have
wished.
From the opening attack of Han-del's
"Concerto Grosso" to the final
release of Vivaldi's "The Four Sea-sons."
Conductor Hans Stadlmair
held the sixteen-piece orchestra
under a masterful spell. Though at
times nearly motionless, Stadlmair
controlled every pulsation of the'
music.
His highly trained orchestra
played with such disciplined pre-
"The Ringwariths are deadly
enemies, but they are only shag
dows yet of the power and terror
they would possess if the Ruling
Ring was on their master's hand
again." This is the driving force
in J. R. R. Tolkien's trilogy The
Lord of the Rings.
In The Hobbit, an introductory
novel to the trilogy, we are intro-duced
to the "Hobbit" — small,
stout, stocky people, supported by
tough leathery feet covered with
thick, curly hair—who inhabited
the Shire during the Third Age of
Middle-earth.
The Hobbits, Frodo, Sam, Pip-pin
and Merry, have been select-ed
to carry the Ring to the
Cracks of Doom in the depth of
the Fire-Mountain which lies in
Mordor. This fire is the only
means to destroy the Ring which
has powers of invisibility and is
wholly evil and all powerful in
the hands of its maker Sauron,
the Dark Lord.
Thus, Frodo, his friends, and
kindred races (elves and men)
carrying the fate of Middle-earth,
journey into Mordor and thereby
encounter moments of terror and
the resistance of evil.

Tolkien's fantasies, six Hobbit

traveled to the "Tolkien Festival"
on Saturday, October 29, at Man-kato
State College.
The purpose of the conference
was two-fold: to sponsor good
literary criticism and to gather
Hobbit fans together. We were
addressed by several speakers
from various universities includ-ing:
David M. Miller, Purdue
University; Dorothy K. Barbar,
U. of M. Morris; and George
Burke Johnston, Virginia Poly-technic
Institute.
Each speaker dealt with a re-lated
topic such as, the meaning
of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien's
moral universe, his intention in
the trilogy and his sources.
The highlight of the conference
was Mrs. Barbar's dissertation on
the meaning in the trilogy. Tol-kien,
being a Christian, has de-picted
good and evil as presented
in the Bible, man's struggle in
free will which is possessed by
every living thing in Middle-earth
(including the Ring), and Provi-dence
which works beyond the
reach of man.
Thus the trilogy can be read for
its Christian implications or mere-ly
for the pure delight of living
in a suspense-filled fantasy of Mid-dle-
earth.

THEATRE
Arthur Miller's drama, "Death of a Salesman" will be held over
at St. Paul's Eastside Theatre.
Managing director Craig Scherfenberg announced today that the
popular drama will get a one week extension of its run, with addi-tional
performances scheduled for November 4 and 5.
The holdover came because of turn-away crowds and sellout per-formances,
Scherfenberg said.
"Death of a Salesman" stars Stu Gang and Rosemary Hartup in the
tense story of a travelling salesman whose crumbling life leads him to-ward
suicide.
Performances are 8:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Nov.
5, at the theatre, 311 Ramsey St., St. Paul. Reservations are necessary.
Tickets are available at Dayton's or the Eastside ticket office, 226-
0625. Eastside's next production, opening Dec. 1, will be he Meredith
Willson Christmas-motif musical, "Here's Love."
ART
Augsburg College is pleased to announce the opening of the A.
Malcolm Gimse sculpture and ceramics show in the Scholarship Gallery,
October 20 to November 11. The Scholarshop, located on 23rd and River-side,
reopened on September 26.
This non-profit gallery was developed, and is being promoted by
the Augsburg College Student Development Council. Its purpose is
to exhibit the work of well known midwestern artists and that of the
Augsburg students.
Through the sale of these works, a scholarship fund has been
established for deserving Augsburg students.
The Student Development Council cordially invites you to visit the
Scholarshop. The hours are: Monday through Friday 3:30 to 6:00 and
Saturday and Sunday 1:00 through 6:00.
MUSIC
Tenor Jon Crain and Baritone Morley Meredith, both of whom have
sung with the Metropolitan Opera, have been cast in the St. Paul Civic
Opera's coming production of Offenbach's last opera, "Tales of Hoff-mann."
The work will be presented in English at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday,
Nov. 10 and Saturday, Nov. 12 in the St. Paul Auditorium theater.
Crain, who will have the title role, is one of the busiest operatic
performers on the scene today. Earlier this year he sang Hoffmann
with the Geneva Opera and had a leading role in the American pre-miere
of "Angel of Fire" with the New York City Opera. Last year he
sang Herod in a concert performance of "Salome" with the Minneapolis
Symphony.
While studying for the operatic stage, Crain worked as a featured
vocalist with Xavier Cugat's dance band. He also once had a coast to
coast radio show under the name of Victor Brones.
Also a recording artist, he sings Mr. Snow in a recent recording of
Richard Rodgers' "Carousel" opposite Roberta Peters and Alfred Drake,
haS recorded highlights from Hoffmann with Rosalind Elias and Marcia
Singher and on the Metropolitan Guild recording of "Tosca" he is heard
as Cavaradossi.
Meredith made his debut at the Met in 1962 in the four baritone
roles of Hoffmann, the same parts he will sing in the Civic Opera
production.
In addition to successes with major festivals and guest appearances
with orchestras throughout the United States and Canada. Prior to his
Met debut, he co-starred on Broadway with Maureen O'Hara in the
musical, "Christine."
Twin cities artists who will have featured roles are Joan Lindusky,
256 Twelfth Ave. S., South St. Paul; Bruce Neilson, 6313 Mildred Ave.,
Minneapolis; Lois Duffy, 3809 Washburn Ave. S., Minneapolis; Carol
Stuart, 502 Texas Ave., Hopkins; and Christine McSpadden, 5315 Colum-bus
Ave., Minneapolis.
Others in the cast from the New York stage include Gail Manners,
last seen here in "Marriage of Figaro" with her husband, Walter
Cassel, as Guiletta; and Luigi Velluci as Cochenille.
Tickets to "Tales of Hoffman" are available by mail order from
the Central Ticket Office, 14 West 5th St., St. Paul.

German musicians played a state-ly
"Divertimento" by the classi-cal
master Joseph Haydn. Here
especially Stadlmair projected
himself into the mood and style
of the music, much to the de-light
of conducting enthusiasts.
At times he conducted with fac-ial
expressions only! But the
group never faltered.
The concert began Baroque and
fittingly ended there too. Antonio
Vivaldi's magnificent "The Four
Seasons" was a delight from be-ginning
to end. One hardly knew
where to direct his attention; to
Stadlmair, so beautifully conduct-,

intense in his virtuosity, or to
the remaining orchestra members
who made extremely difficult mu-sic

In all, the programmed "Spring,"

were communicated at a level
which this amateur would contend
did justice to Vivaldi at his best.

The Seminary football team
again this year has been one of
the powers in the intramural lea-gue.
In rolling over Asbury 26-6,
Second Old 28-0, First Floor 44-0,
and Third New by forfeit, the Sem-inary
has appeared to be the tough
est team in the league.
Undoubtedly the Semnariy has
shown the best offense and pos-sibly
the best defense of any team
in intramurals.
The offense, led by quarter-back
Duane Johnson and flanker
Dennis Port, has relied heavily
on a potent passing attack.
Quarterback Johnson in three
league games and in one ex-hibition
has thrown fourteen
touchdown passes, and Port has
received six of them.
Dave Kastelein, blocking back,
has scored on two touchdown pas-ses,
and ends Bruce Ericson and
Mark Coleman are also capable
receivers.
The offensive line consisting of
guards Bill Hoyt and Bob McNeil
and center Dave Stribling, is by fat
the biggest in the school, includ-ing
the Bethel varsity.
The blocking of the line and
halfback Kastelein provides John-son
with ample time to get off
his passes, and to hit his re-ceivers.
Equally important to the Semin-ary's
success is their rugged de-fense.
The line, anchored by mid-dle
guard Bill Hoyt and ends Mike
Bohlen and Dave Petersen, puts a
tremendous rush on the opposing
quarterback, causing many inter-ceptions.
The linebacking of Bert Heep
and Terry Port has kept the other
team off balance with their blitzes,
and the secondary has done an ex-cellent
job of snatching errant
throws caused by the strong rush.
More important, however, the
defense consistently keeps the
other team bottled up in its own
territory, giving the offense ex-cellent
field position most of the
time.
The reason for the Seminary's,
perennial strength is commonly be-lieved
to be its use of former
Bethel varsity letterwinners, but
according to Seminary player, Den-nis
Port, this is just not so.
He says that no team member
has ever earned a Bethel letter.
But Port did say "the esprit de

strength." He does not deny that
the Sem has excellent players, but
he maintains that the spirit de-veloped
between the Seminary's
dozen players creates teamwork un-equaled
by the other clubs.
Considering that there have been
many forfeits in the intramural
football program this year, and
after seeing how well the Semin-arians
worked together, it would
appear that unity and enthusiasm
are vital weapons the Seminary
has over other teams.

Esprit de Corps Powers Seminarians
In Apathetic Intramural Competition
by Lynn Bergfalk
Coming up with a satisfactory intramural system has al-ways
been a headache. In an attempt to bolster participation
this year the program was radically restructed. Now, with
regular games completed and playoffs ready to begin, it's not
too early to draw a few conclusions regarding the effectiveness
of the new 10 team-two division setup.
Basically there are two main problems. As usual parti-cipation
has been poor. More about that later. Secondly the
league is poorly balanced with Phelps and Seminary wiping up
all competition. Phelp's defense has yet to allow a point, al-though
the team has at least had some tight games. Their
tough, gutty play deserves a great deal of praise.
The Seminary team is another matter. Their defense
has given up one lone touchdown, while the offense has rol-led
up 97 points. However, praising their record is similar to
calling a 300 pound bum with a switch blade "sir." They
ought to be a powerhouse.
An inspection of their ranks shows the pulpiteers with
two boys who have been out for Bethel football, one that
reportedly played for Wheaton, and one lad who was a start-ing
back for Taylor. In addition, the rest of the fellows have
had three or four years of intramural experience.
Furthermore they have three times as many men to
draw from as the college intramural teams. With superior
numbers they can carry their long-winded tactics from the
pulpit to the playing field.
The logical way of equalizing this power would be set-ting
up two teams from the Seminary. This would leave in-tramurals
with only one major problem to solve — partici-pation.
Traditionally participation has been worse than that
in a deadpan testimony meeting and this season only 60%
of scheduled games have been played. In one division As-bury
took the field for only one game, losing 26-6, but
tying for second place with a 2-1 record as they won two
by forfiet.
There are bound to be legitimate reasons for occasionally
missing a game — a work conflict or a bout of malaria. But it
is indeed a sad state of affairs when, out of a group of 50 or 60,
there are not even eight boys who are not too dainty to engage
in a game of touch football. This sort of a situation will not be
corrected by any change in organization — it can only be
changed by the fellows themselves.

Page 6 the CLARION
The Mayville Comets of North
Dakota struck fast and furious and
withstood a second half scoring
drought to beat the Bethel Royals
37-13.
The contest was the hardest hit-ting
home clash of the season—
and it shows: Ron Harris, broken
wrist; Ken Irons, badly bruised
shoulder; John Carmean, bruised
elbow; Gary Wilson, undetermined
leg injury.
Mayville took the opening kick-off
and marched 63 yards
through the sieve-like Royal de-fense
in five plays for an early
score. Ron Strand, out the past
two seasons with broken legs,
displayed no handicaps in toting
the pigskin 30 yards to paydirt.
Ray Gibbons kicked the extra
point, and Mayville led 7-0
after less than two minutes of
play.
Following the kickoff, Al Se-lander
plucked a Bill Englund pass
for a first down near midfield.
However, the Royals were forced
to punt four plays later. The
Comets then moved the ball from
the 22 to the 35 yard line where
they were forced to punt.
In the next two minutes three
key breaks emerged. Englund fum-bled
on his own 41 and the Comets
recovered. The Bethel defense rose
to the occasion and held, but a
roughing-the-kicker penalty gave
Mayville a first down on the Royal
26. Two plays later Strand scored
again, this time on a 23 yard toss
from quarterback Jim Dews. The
try for point was wide.
Shortly after came the break
which discouraged the Royals.
On the ensuing kickoff, Dave
Pound came within one tackle
of going 90 yards for a touch-down.
As it was, the Royals had
good field position on the Comet
44 yard line. Englund then hit
John Carmean with a pass on
the buttonhook pattern for a
first down on the 32.
On the next play, in eagerness
to get away, Dave Moss fumbled
and Mayville recovered on its own
20. This time the North Dakotans
drove 80 yards with Parker Wil-liams
capping the drive with a 14
yard double reverse. The kick was
good. The Comets led 20-0 and
the game was still in the first
quarter!
The Royals gallantly fought back,
and aided by a 45 yard Englund-
Bob Sundquist—
it was that kind of day.
Thursday, November 3, 1966
Carmean combination hit the
scoreboard. Al Selander went over
from the four for the touchdown,
but the kick for point failed.
Mayville scored again one min-ute
later on a 62 yard spinning
spectacular by fullback Tom So-holt.
Ray Gibbons booted the
successful PAT over the fence
and out of sight. The leaders
added their fifth touchdown of
the half when Ken Pierce went
over from two yards with 51 sec-onds
left. Gibbons duplicated his
feat to make the halftime score
34-6 for Mayville.
With a 28 point halftime deficit,
one might think of . . . The thought
apparently did not enter the
Royals' minds. Three minutes into
the third quarter, Dave Pound

Last Saturday, Como Park was
the site of Bethel's third straight
victory in cross country. Under
sunny skies and a rather cold tem-perature
of forty degrees, the
Royal harriers put on a fine dis-play
of long distince running in
topping St. Paul Bible College by
a score of 22-33.
Freshman Steve Johnson turned
in a masterful performance in tak-ing
first place in the meet. In
leading his team to victory, he cov-ered
the 3.8 mile course in 19:38.
This was his best time, and in
fact, it was only five seconds from
Bethel's freshman record.
Also establishing his best time,
20:45, was Steve Roe. This gave
him a third place finish for his
team. Two of his fellow team-mates,
Dave Moulton and Dave
Haring, were right behind him,
the former finishing fourth and
the latter taking fifth place for the
Royals. Moulton's time was 20:05
while Haring's was 21:40. Ken Min-nis
took ninth.
The lone bright spot for St. Paul
Bible College was a second place
finish by Ken Ehresman. His time
was 20:04. The four other partici-pants
for St. Paul Bible took sixth,
seventh, eighth, and tenth places.
reserves. Larry Peterson added the
PAT.
Three characteristics marked the
remainder of the game-1) hard
hitting defense, 2) a leaping field
goal block by Bethel's Dave An-derson,
and 3) the inability of both
teams to move the ball consistent-ly.
(Gibbons, however, later added
a field goal for Mayville.) The
first and last characteristics quite
possibly are related.
For example, Mayville picked
up 218 yards rushing the first
half but only 31 in the second.
On the other hand, Bethel's most
potent offensive weapon, the for-ward
pass, was quite sporadic.
Englund hit six of eleven the
first half, but only seven of
twenty-four in the second. In the
first down department, Mayville
edged Bethel 16-15.
The Royals attempt to even their
season record of 3-4 in the season
finale this week at Valley City,
North Dakota.
Saturday was a very rewarding
day for Bethel's harriers. Next,
Saturday at 1:00 p.m., the Royals
will seek their fourth successive
victory as they face a tough La-
Cross team. The site for the event
will once again be Como Park.
